HC grants opportunity for reply to SCN as Assessee being small businessman was not aware of the proceedings initiated


Quick Summary
The Madras High Court has granted a small business owner a fresh opportunity to respond to a Show Cause Notice (SCN). The court recognised that the assessee, a small businessman, was unaware of the proceedings due to initial GST implementation errors. The original assessment order was quashed, but the assessee must first deposit 10% of the disputed tax amount.
